On top of all of that, you have to pay bills, take care of insurance, take kids (and self) to the doctors, take care of sick kids.

I lucked out there. By virtue of her occupation, all medical issues are instantly referred to my wife.

[sageb1]

Exactly. Go back to work, Dad.

How can you even say that cleaning a bathroom isn't hard or tiring? We have 3 in our house. It's a pain to get all the mold out of the tile every few weeks. Then you have to scrub toilets and floors.

Ugh, I feel your pain there. I am the only female in a house that has three males capable of using the toilets...and yet somehow always being off the mark. LOL I am cleaning them literally every day...and I am not the one making the mess! Same goes for the rest of the house. Hubby works long hours, and my boys are too small to do much beyond picking up their toys, putting their dishes on the counter, and helping to set the table. Keeps you running all day...my vacuum is my best buddy, I think. ROFL

Working a corporate job.

What happened is that half the boomers did not go along with the second-wave feminist agenda. Those who allowed themselves to be indoctrinated screwed this country up big time.

Oh, btw, I forgot...hogswallop= a mishmash of codswallop and hogwash...just silly phraseology on my part.

[sageb1]

You care. They don't.

[Melas]

Beeeeeep, wrong answer, you fail Final Jeapordy. Thanks for playing.

[exnavychick]

I beg your pardon?

[sageb1]

who cleans the toilet?

[Lazamataz]

Is that you, Todd?

[sageb1]

Jeopardy? Is that what you were playing?

[exnavychick]

OK, now I see which post you were replying to...and yes, you're right, they don't care. The young ones are just too little to get it, and it's part of my job when you get down to brass tacks. It's just really gross, lol!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

See, it's still all about them . . . their career, their kids.

That's right. They should be teaching or daycaring other peoples' kids. How dare they become involved in raising their own!

"Men at home are taking the more difficult job."

LOL!

Kids are work, no doubt but this is not their place ... unless you're a tad effeminate.

[nmh]

To each his own.

I'd hate to see the example that sets for your daughter ... if you have one ... or for sons ... having women support them. I can't say I'm impressed with a male that cheers his wife on to support him.

[sageb1]

Where have all the alpha males gone? *grin*

[Melas]

Oh yeah, I reek femininity, asshole.
